No, that's indeed Mainz as good as possible (see the headline):
Quote:In Medieval Latin, the name was shortened in the 6th century and henceforth written and pronounced “Moguntia” or “Magantia.” In the 7th century, the city name changed to “Mogancia,” “Magancia urbis,” or “Maguntia,” and in the 8th century to “Magontia.” In the 11th century, the name had returned to ‘Moguntiacum’ or “Moguntie.” In general, the city's name was often influenced not by actual linguistic development, but by the prevailing “fashion” of pronunciation. In the 12th century, the city was referred to as “Magonta,” “Maguntia,” “Magontie,” and “Maguntiam.”
